To support quality and sustainability in recycling

GP Certified has announced the launch of GP Labs, Sri Lanka's first and only dedicated plastic testing facility, designed to bring scientific precision and international quality standards to the country's growing plastic recycling and polymer manufacturing sectors.

With plastic waste and sustainability becoming global concerns, Sri Lanka's recycling sector has often faced the challenge of the lack of scientific validation for recycled plastic. GP Labs directly addresses this gap by offering comprehensive testing for both recycled and virgin plastics, enabling recyclers, manufacturers, and FMCG brands to ensure their products meet the highest standards in quality, safety, and environmental responsibility.
